Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 5-year-old Bailey.

Here is Baypath’s description of Bailey:

“Bailey is a sweet, gentle girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for her people. She’s been a delight in her foster home — affectionate, calm indoors and happiest when she’s close by for pets and snuggles.

“Bailey is smart and eager to engage, already knowing sit, paw, speak, stay and lay down. She enjoys playtime and can be wonderfully ‘chatty’ when she’s excited, but she also settles nicely and loves cozy downtime — especially when it means being near her humans.

“In foster care, Bailey has done great with teenagers and has been friendly and easygoing with everyone she’s met, including men and women of different ages. She’s also been an excellent houseguest: fully house-trained, crate-trained and comfortable relaxing in her crate when left alone for a few hours. She even hops in for naps on her own and sleeps happily through the night.

“Bailey rides calmly in the car on short trips and enjoys her daily walks, walks well on leash and loves to snuggle upon return!

“If you’re looking for a loving, well-mannered companion who’s equal parts playful and snuggly — and would love to keep learning with you — Bailey could be your perfect match.”
